dark but somehow funky techno killer. after having massive support from all the major players during 2007 (hawtin, garnier, 2000 & one, mr. c, wink, troy pierce), esperanza strikes back in 2008 with the comeback of franco cinelli to the label. franco introduces us two oldschool infused bombs with intricate sounds that won t go out of your mind for a long time.

exclusive mixes on 4 lp from warp s back catalogue.. remixes and source material from artists including mogwai, aphex twin, surgeon, stereolab, boards of canada, nightmares on wax and many more..

third ep from this old skate buddy of the ed banger guys who develops an own extremly funky style of hip hop ghetto disco. the first two 12inchers created a huge hype on blogs such as bigstereo, headphone sex & slutty fridge. golden bugs 1st single was supported by many djs such as jori hulkonnen & cajuan and also featured as the opener on the latest dfa mixtape (mixed by shit robot)! golden bug is the king of ghetto disco! ...its the hardest hip hop disco you ever heard...booooom!

monotonix are a punk trio from tel aviv. they formed in november 2005, set up on the floor of the club with the audience, and the party began. but the party usually got too wild, the power got cut, the cops were called and monotonix were banned from playing again almost everywhere. before long, they were looking for good places to play outside of israel - and they were delighted to find that there are more rock and roll party places outside of israel than inside! today, monotonix are the hardest working rock band in the world. sure, lots of other bands work up a sweat, but monontonix are definitely the only band who puts in the kind of miles they do, and they rock rings around pretty much the rest of us too. these guys do two different shows in two different towns on the same day whenever they can manage it. but thats only the tip of the hard working iceberg. body language sounds almost like a monotonix show. the only thing you cant hear is the sound of your heart beating in your ears after having been chased around the room by a vocalist with his pants literally on fire, then getting dousedwith beer and dancing your ass off to the guitar riffage, then ending it all by carrying the drummer around on your shoulders while a few other guys hold his kit up so he can keep drumming. you dont end up quite as out of breath when listening body language, but you do get a ton of excitement anyway, courtesy of a killer guitar sound, precision power drumming and lusty lead vocals. they recorded body language with tim green (of the fucking champs) at louder studios in san francisco. it twists and grooves with all the fun and fervor of great rock and roll.

pan-pot’s debut longplayer pan-o-rama turns out to be the gift that just keeps on giving. first there was the lead single >charly>, backed by an infectious remix from lady mobilee herself, anja schneider. now they hand the baton to marco resmann and zander vt, who each perform their own magic on two more killer cuts from the album.

not only is franklin sharing his flat with yapacc these days, hes also remixing the likes of peter grummich, colorswitch, ricardo villalobos or pheek, the berlin resident is also releasing constantly persuasively arranged and produced music on crack & speed, sender, trapez, immigrant and on his own imprint the green empire (which is he co-running also with his long-time friend yapacc). >this is probably the best cadenza release which hasnt been released on cadenza<, said a journalist a week ago - and who are we to deny this? these two tracks are beautifully towering tripped-out, post-minimal techno pieces which are not only suitable for late night moments.

myna music is back on the scene!!! first release in 2008 comes from da sunlonge feat nica brooke on vocals!! happening now is a deep grooving soulful piece of house music, that gets its remix treatment by non other than nottingham house dons inland knights and shrewd head honcho matt shrewd himself!! a must have

the enigmatic bulletdodge brings forth their debut release by up and coming glasgow dj/producers loweck, glasgows well known remixer electro voodoo and chicago house legend gene hunt. the >misdirection ep< is an exciting release that conveys vibrant techno magic. the first track to dawn the wax is lowecks original mix, which is a certain floor filler that drives with a dark bassline and explodes with an exciting arpeggio that will cause a frenzy on any dancefloor. track two is electro voodoos mix which is a more deep dubby mix that delivers a more layed back intelligent techno feel. the e.p. culminates with gene hunts mix which, fuses the essence of the original mix with a sub bass line and minimal bleepy effects to create a killer remix. the e.p. has been supported by terrence dixon and k alexi and is set to be a great success in 2008!

deep and funky techhouse to house on the aside with influences of tribal and deep melodies. the flip comes more technoid with dj noiz. he delivers two tracks with africanism vibes and smooth detroit chords..

dj support by : 2000 and one, karotte, james flavour, tobi neumann.... after already four strong 12inches on audiomatique we proudly welcome back robert babicz with his fifth audiomatique release: >dark flower< is a shiny groover accompanied y a beautiful remix from rotterdam based techno-veteran joris voorn. the a-side features two new tracks by robert, >dark flower< & >spiralboogie<. >dark flower< showcases roberts typical handwriting: a dry, but funky groove construct with melancolic and deep synths while some highly seductive bass slaps create this very special babicz feeling. >spiralboogie< spreads its magic on a2. slowly building, having the funk in the trunk and fully focussed on simple, but reliable qualities. forward ever, backwards never. the flipside holds our chefs suggestion: an extraordinary joris voorn remix of >dark flower< which already stirred a huge buzz when steve bug tested it on his recent japan-tour or robert played it out in brasil last month. joris voorns mix perfectly combines floating harmonies with a thrilling drive. simply irresistible

stage 6 for the d classics crew...and a sure stike again. back to back re edits from nico (on his own this time), getting back to the rawest side of discofunk. a side opens it with o2 party. nico come up with a kind of mash up, taking best bits from both versions from the original 12inch pressing, fill it with advance thinking efx, and make it into a proper floor burner. cosmic disco funk of highest order we say. b side is called solutions. here we have a total re arrangement from this early 80s slice of pure disco funk, still keeping the original feelgood touch from the original, but with a real modern thinking and great use of efx and tools tweeking in the making of the re edit. if you re not dancing on these two babies... you re probably already dead.

back to back killer selection and re works from one of frances hypest dj of the moment. smart re edits of these two hard to find slices of funk wax. original pressings reach stupid prices on ebay like sites... smiling is a belgium disco funk that very few know about. original version going from time to time very cheesy, it really needed a re edit to reach a much deserved club exposure. jammaster is a pretty sought after chicago funk classic, but strangely enough it got a very particular new jersey feel to it, even recalling some early blaze tracks... played and playlisted with the likes of dj cam, inflagranti, orest, pilooski...

heiko laux (kamzleramt rec) and alexander lukat teams up and releases two massive minimal techno tracks. heiko laux surely knows how to keep the groove going. a must have for all rejected fans out there

luscious, epic and british are not words you would usually associate with an emo band. but i was a cub scout are not your ordinary emo outfit - they re two hardcore souls with passion and emotion dripping out of every pore. and its this passion that has captivated audiences up and down the country. the duo, made up of todd marriott and william bowerman, have come a long way in the 18 months they ve been together. they ve supported bands like babyshambles, panic at the disco, editors and forward russia, played to packed out audiences at download and the carling reading and leeds festivals and made one of the most life affirming albums of 2008, i want you to know that there is always hope, which has been produced by hugh padgham . in a climate of indie band soup, i was a cub scout stand apart. a very british band raised on a diet of american music. a duo who manage the feat of being both indie and rock, punk and prog, small yet big...

the term >ballad< is written similarly in many languages of the western hemisphere. it is a antique word. you can find its etymological origin in the latin verb >ballare< - which means >to dance< - and the greek verb >ballein< - wich means >to move<. a ballad is always a story told through music. in recent times the term >ballad< is often associated with greasy / absurd pop music. what a shame! ballad inc. releases tracks that earn the label >ballad<. on our first release >exile< you can listen to the epic story >high hopes of salvation< by quietpoint and to two short stories by xdb. >anilem< and >jupit< got everything a ballad needs. of course you can dance to it. of course you can move your body. but this should not be the main issue! there is so much more in modern instrumental music. who needs words to tell a story?

dsecret svc. coco machete comes out guns blazing with the new single >tight jeans< from dsecret svc, a modernist hip house beatdown. the remix package is more than complete for any heavy handed dj and dancefloor. first up is a remix from fukkk offf who brought you >im a freak< at the end of last year. this time he delivers two dangerous mixes, one full vocal and one deep electro-dub. hit the flip for two ghetto heavy remixes (vox & inst) from baltimores own dj booman of the 410 pharaohs who have a full length b-more club album coming out this year on ill friction/strictly rhythm. the original mix, also on the flip is the perfect marriage of hip hop and house...check the vibe.

what a killer dub techno track!! two parts, and i don t know which is better.. must have for fans of desolat, mountain people & maurizio

although only 23 years of age englishmen cris barratt is already considered one of the hottest new producers on the block. what makes him really special is his unique blend of sounds, which is not melodic house, minimal, tribal, rock electro or techno, but at the same time it is all of that. two tracks on this ep are the best reflection of chris >get maximal< approach: he builds the story slowly, upgrades the basic theme bit by bit, then weaves in another leading theme and spices the blend with unexpected small but effective element from the late 90s. the result of this blending is very rich, warm sound, perfect for the parties somewhere at the seaside. re-release

andy c & red one have gone out on a limb with this the latest release on their frequency imprint, sister to the scene leading ram records. firstly they have signed two very new artists in the way of deep & shafie, but fortune favours the brave and what they?ve done here is push forward a 12 with a bucket full of class.

excellent chicago influenced techno double lp.. back in stock

incl argy remix !! tokyo s rising star ryo murakami has already put his diverse, electronic sound on the map with the >rise< ep on dessous last year, and received great praise for his track >my soul<, snapped up by steve bug for the fabric mix series, which was piled high with atmosphere and dark, club energy. his next 12 includes two new tracks, the title cut being >down the sky<, cooly influenced by old school house, but also more recent european forays into night music. ryo demonstrates a heavy aptitude for stripped down futurism, with staccato, jilted beats, joined by layers of padded synth structures, looming somewhere between light and darkness. the b side, ‚coke‘ (no questions asked) welcomes another one of ryo‘s extended journeys, this time a stronger, peak time groove which never lets off, and builds around layers of spaced out, pitching fx. brain-tingling pitching synths heat things up, before laying down a super-funk hook that melts on top of the beats irresistibly. ryo then leads us head-first into a series of spac d out, jacked-up movements, characterised by risque, feminine vocal snippets. poker flat‘s young greek maestro, argy, creates a stunning hi-tech remix of ‚down the sky,‘ complete with mesmeric dub influenced chord stabs and tripped out washes of delay. once again carrying on the vibe of the original, but twisting it into an altogether different beast, argy takes ryo‘s warm synth stabs and shapes the remix into a slow paced yet pumping club tool.

jeder einzelne der 13 tracks ist auf seine weise uplifting und angenehm, besonders wenn przygoddas lebensgefährtin geka winkler ihre wunderbare stimme beisteuert wie in den tracks cliff und drive. ebenso gelungen ist der unglaublich zurückgelehnte, aber dabei null kitschige saxophonlastige introtrack when you step und die vergleichsweise rockigen tracks two for future und a rockets nightflight, in denen man dann auch die prise punk entdecken kann. zum schluss bekommt man dann mit home of the wishes noch eine perfekte hymne, die zu praktisch jedem happy end der filmgeschichte passt, mit auf den weg.
